I'm still using PGP 6.5.8 Ckt

(Don't tell me it's old and broken. I ain't here to argue that
paranoid nonsense.)

I've looked around at all the 'open' source PGPs and all I see are a
whole bunch of other junk that you need with them. For instance, that
Kleopatra stuff - or however you spell it.

I like my ckt version because it is so S-I-M-P-L-E to use.

I don't want a whole bunch of other parts to use it. With 6.5.8, I
type up a text file, bring up ckt and encrypt it, save it, send
it/copy it to wherever.

File encryption is even simpler.

Because of Efail, I do email encryption/decryption manually - outside
the email. Besides, I only use online email accounts.

Is there an uptodate open source pgp that I can use that is as simple
as my ckt version?

I'll be using Win 7 with it.

Do you really want open source, where you can get and even modify the
source code and then compile it? Or do you instead want freeware?

Read/compile open source? I got enuf problems reading the ingredients
off a cereal box label. What in my half intelligible post made you
think I knew what the hell I was doing?

I use online e-mail only. I compose in a text editor. I PGP encrypt
it while still in the text editor. I copy paste that into the Compose
window of the e-mail site. I hit Send. I don't need no other help
from Kleo or whomever.

For files, I find one on my drive and hit the PGP padlock icon and
encrypt the file. In other words, I do all the hard work myself. As
I said, to hell with Kleo and her "necessary" buddy additional apps,
or whatever they're called.

I didn't know S-I-M-P-L-E was so complicated in this world of new
"updates".

Okay, you want freeware. I have a copy of the installer for PGP 10.1.2,
which was freeware when I got it. As far as I can tell, it was the last
version for which the source code was available for independent
verification that there was no backdoor or other intentional
vulnerability. If you want a copy, reply in this newsgroup thread.

I could use a bit more modern PGP just in case.

How we going to do this? Is airmail still around? I really liked
those special envelopes

David has a web site. He could even encrypt the goods, so only
you could read them :-)

The only thing I could find, was GPG4win and it has "gpa" Assistant in it.
But I don't know if that would break your way of doing things though.

The gpg4win is a QT5 wrapper ("decoration style") for the linux version.
Runs on Windows as normal. Getting it from this site is "less challenging"

https://www.techspot.com/downloads/6650-gpg4win.html

compared to getting it from the parent site.

https://www.gpg4win.org/get-gpg4win.html

You can examine what is inside the EXE obtained, by using 7ZIP archiver.

https://7-zip.org/a/7z1900-x64.exe

I was able to run "gpa" on Windows 11, using the Microsoft Linux subsystem and
its Ubuntu 20.04 image. But since I'd not a crypto person, I don't
know what any of that stuff means in there. That means on the machine
I'm typing on, I could run the Linux version of "gpa" with Linux
decorations for the window.

If you want it, I upload the installer file to the test folder in my Web
site. You download it from there. Then you let me know you have it,
and I then delete it from my Web site.

I went to the site. Added 'test' to the main url. Got this page -

http://www.rossde.com/test/

All kinds of stuff there. Waiting for pgp to show up.

(Helluva site.)

Go to <http://www.rossde.com/test/PGP/>. There are two versions of PGP
there:
PGPDesktopWin32-10.1.2.exe for 32-bit PCs
PGPDesktopWin64-10.1.2.exe for 64-bit PCs (I use this one.)

Download the version for your PC. Then let me know you have it so that
I can delete them (72 MB) from my Web site.

Beyond Meat and other such vegetarian meat substitutes
represent the ultimate in ultra-processed foods. Real
meat is natural. Beyond Meat is definitely not.
